Re: [kvm-devel] [kvm-ppc-devel] [PATCH] Add print for PowerPC qemu for failed DCR read/writes

2008-02-06 Thread Hollis Blanchard
Yeah, rate-limiting makes sense. Maybe we could take it one step further and only print the warning the first time a particular unemulated DCR is accessed. I also agree about the captalization. :) -- Hollis Blanchard IBM Linux Technology Center On Wed, 2008-02-06 at 12:25 +0100, Christian Ehrha

2008-02-06 Thread Christian Ehrhardt
hi Jerone, I think this is good for debugging to find unsupported hardware, but it should not be enabled by default (you could get a printf storm if a guest workload does stupid things). Maybe qemu has some debug/verbose options you can use. And additionally it would be useful for the dcr_write p

[kvm-devel] [PATCH] Fix to kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_sregs so that set_cr0 works properly
